FIRST READING
"You killed the Prince of life, he whom God raised from the dead"
Reading from the book of Acts of the Apostles (3, 13-15.17-19)
In those days Peter spoke before the people: “Men of Israel, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant Jesus, while you, you had handed him over, you had denied him in the presence of Pilate, who was determined to release him. You have denied the Holy and the Righteous, and you have asked for the grace of a murderer. You have killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, we are witnesses. Besides, brothers, I know very well that you acted in ignorance, you and your leaders. But God thus fulfilled what he had announced in advance by the mouths of all the prophets: that Christ, his Messiah, would suffer. Convert then and turn to God so that your sins are blotted out. "
The Word of the Lord.
